| Down the River You gave me shelter from the storm I wanted more I said I've seen the light You said strange things happen in the face of war I watched you from the long grass on the shore but I won't sell you down the river any more Fooled by the lies the smiles that they wear I broke your heart and closed my eyes as I cut the flowers from your hair I know you've probably heard all this before but I won't sell you down the river any more So I tore down the walls and I lost you in the rush A crowd had gathered looking for a way out and I could not see for the dust They asked me if I'd seen you before and I sold you down the river once more I know you've probably heard all this before but I won't sell you down the river anymore I won't sell you down won't sell you down the river anymore |
